Remember last week when I mentioned that I mailed out a submission? I got my manuscript back today with a generic photocopied rejection notice. I'm positive I put my story in the correct format and that my story's genre matched with what they were looking for. But the thing is, I have the suspicion that they (the editors) didn't even look at it. I think I caught them during a time of backlog.
Depressing isn't it?
Well, about ten minutes after I read their notice, I shoved the manuscript (which is completely unmarked) into another envelope. It'll be off to a different publisher on Monday.
